TWO BARLEY LEAF DISEASES Blights, Commonly Called Rust, Has Appeared In Many Sections In Past Two Seasons. (By WALTER B. L.EUTZ.) During the past two seasons there oas appeared in many sections a widespread disease on barley, com monly called rust, but in no way re lated to this disease. It is caused by an Imperfect fungus. There are two forms of these leaf spot diseases of the barley, one an early blight which has been desig nated as "the yellow leaf disease." The yellow leaf disease appears early during the season. This Is a.?Barley leaf affected by "late blight." b.?Barley leaf affected by "yellow leaf disease." c.?Blade of :orn affected by this fungus. characterized by yellowish longitud inal stripes alternating with darker lines. This is transmitted by the seed. The late barley blight causes brown spots of irregular outline, and occurs on the leaves, glumes nnd seed. The leaves are easily broken up and com pletely destroyed In some cases. There are many species of this fun gus on grasses, and one occurs on the leaves oi corn, sometimes doing mucl Injury. CORN CRIB IS MADE MOVABLE Serviceable Building May Be Con structed Out of Old Barrel Staves ? Keeps Grain Dry. (By K. G. STEIN.) A good movable corn crib may bo ouilt of barrel staves, that Is the walls, the roof of lap siding or any kind of roofing you want. For the side walls use two lengths of staves and run a pole on the mid dle, as shown In the cut, to nail the staves on and run the two rods through the middle of the crib, one through polos and one through plates. The size of the crib is according to how much com you raise. The walls must slant out a little toward the top, as this will keep out the rain better. The floor Is tight. This kind of a crib Is quite cheap and may be built of small poles nailer1 A Movable Corn Crib. .?lose together If no barrel staves an at hand. Such a crib keeps the corn In good condition. It dry* quickly and keeps dry all the year around, which is not possible for corn kept in a tight gran ary where it molds and spoils at once. IN REPAIRING A DIRT ROAD Few Little Hints That Will Tend to Make Work of Fixing Up Highway Easier. In repairing a drrt road: Don't fill up the holes nnd ruts In the dirt road with brush, with rocks on top, and a little dirt to cover the rocks; but fill up the hole with dirt of the same character as the balance of the road. Don't throw all the refuse from the ditches Into the middle of the toad, thus softening the surface and de stroying the solid, firm bed that you have obtained by previous work; but throw this material out on the op poslte ride of the ditch. Don't leave the center of the road the lowest point; but make It the highest and give the surface of the road a slope of about 1 In 20 to the side ditch. Don't carry the water across the surface of the road from one side to the other; but carry It by means o' culverts underneath the road. Onions In Winter.
